How it works
OpenClaw Spotlight: Peter Steinberger (@steipete)
Peter Steinberger (@steipete) is the creator behind steipete.me. He publishes AI tooling notes, agent workflows, and experiments that move from Swift roots into modern web frontiers. His headline promise is simple: every commit lands on GitHub so others can fork and remix.
On his About page, he describes a "vibe-coding" phase, exploring the modern web after years of shipping native iOS apps. He builds what excites him and releases it as open source. He splits time between Vienna and London and is open to sharing learnings at conferences.
